<p>My S and I are going to visit both schools, as well as Whitman this April. I have a few questions. I think my S is more the laid back type but is VERY intellectual and “Square Peg” type kid. He loves to be around interesting and quirky types of kids who love to discuss random things. He LOVES the classics and humanities in general. I think he will LOVE Reed but I’m worried that the intense academic environment will overcome him. He is the classic " loves to learn for learning sake" but cringes when he hears the rumors about how much work Reed is. He has many interest and would hate studying non-stop. I’m thinking that L&C might be more suited for him but we will see after the visits. Does anyone have their 2 cents to add???</p>
